This little guy has gotten SO chubby since I took his newborn pictures!

ADORABLE!!

I LOVE those shots!

Thank you so much for asking me to capture this little guy during his first year! I can’t wait to see you in August!

I am LOVING newborn sessions lately!

Whimsical and magically posed newborns are not my strength!!

*R* cooperated for a few frames!

*R* was MUCH more cooperative in her momma’s arms!

I just ADORE those shots! Moments like these don’t seem to be important.

Just a routine task – swaddling the baby. But the newborn days go by so fast – and your memory has a funny way of over-writing.

Before you know it – scenes like these are gone. It’s such a beautiful image!

Those MIGHT be my favorite shots from this session! OH MY HEART!

OH WAIT – I love ALL of those!

Katie – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to come capture this sweet time in your life!

I can’t wait to see you guys this summer!

Michaelia and Travis welcomed their second little boy into their SWEET family!

HE IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS!

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

Little toes. Big hands. Little babies. Big brothers.

That last shot – momma hugs – daddy smiles. MY FAVORITE!

Baby yawns!

Little *E* – thank you for the hugs and kisses and cuddles! You are going to be a GREAT big brother!

*G* is THREE already!

That first picture – OH MY WORD!!!

Those two shots! I can’t deal!

And little sister – DARLING!

Nicole – you are a BEAUTIFUL rule-breaking moth! I LOVE YOU!!!

Rochelle and I attend MOPS together and our hubbies work together – AND – she has cute kiddos!

Her oldest and Fitzy are both all about STAR WARS right now!

I was SO excited when she asked me to capture their family!

LOOK AT THAT FACE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

SO SWEET!!

I love that last one – blurriness and all!

That last shot – absolutely adorable!

Thank you guys! I loved spending time with you!

I was SO excited to photograph this little guy and his family!

Jennifer – thank you SO much for asking me to capture these SWEET moments for you!

I took a few maternity pictures for Sierra – and her birth photos – I absolutely HAD to take just a few newborn photos.

Just a few.

That little cutie – he’s a couple months older than my Enoch – just ADORABLE!

OH MY HEART!

I mean – really. Seriously. Absolutely priceless.

I can’t even – the sweetness.

I just adore those shots!

Sierra – thank you – it’s been awesome to walk these last moments of pregnancy and first moments of life with you!

You’ve given me such a gift dear friend!

My friend Sierra asked if I would capture the birth of their 4th child – their 1st girl!

I was so honored and excited! She was due mid-January and we were praying that snow wouldn’t be an issue!

Her mom called me around 6:45 on Sunday the 10th – letting me know that they were heading to the hospital (an hour away) for the night – snow and ice was in the forecast and they wanted to be prepared. I left at 7 – ready for a long night sleeping on lobby couches. As I pulled off the exit from the highway – her mom called again – asking where I was. She was 9 cm and getting ready. WHAT!

I made it to the room at 8 – and that sweet baby girl was born at 8:30 after just a few beautiful pushes!

(You won’t see all the photos in this blog post – but you will still see beautiful ones!)

I mean seriously – that chubby little face!

Sierra & Jose – it’s such a beautiful thing to witness!

Thank you SO MUCH – from the bottom of my heart – for asking me to photograph Rosa’s birth – but more than that – for asking me to be there.

There’s something so miraculous about watching someone take their first breath. Thank you.

My friend Sierra is a fantastic friend. She’s also a great momma and wife. She’s honest and transparent.

She has quite the story and she’s an inspiration to experience the beauty from pain.

She has three wonderful boys – and will add a little girl – Rosa!

I’ve had this dress on hand for a few years. I’ve used it in a session already and wore it to the PA Renaissance Faire this year!

I’ve always had a vision to photograph a pregnant momma – in the snow – in this dress.

Sierra’s due date was quickly approaching – we couldn’t wait for the possibility of snow.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

OH MY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last shot!!

Sierra – I am so thankful that you’re in my life! I LOVE YOU!

Stay tuned for her birth and newborn sessions!!

Arica has been in front of my lens for nearly FIVE YEARS!

A girl and her make-up and her momma.

Because the breakdowns happen!

Sweet moments! They happen too!

I’m sure they will NOT love this picture when they grow up – but for now – it’s adorable!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot!

And that one – BE STILL MY HEART!

Arica – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture your life!
